Membership

LHS PTSA membership is comprised of parents (legal guardians), staff, students and community members.  Each individual that has paid his/her annual membership dues is considered a member and is entitled to vote.

Non-dues paying students of Lynnwood High school shall be considered honorary members of this PTSA without vote, or the privilege of holding office.  (This allows students to fully participate in PTSA sponsored events.)

PTSA members in good standing are eligible to vote.  A simple majority of members in attendance is needed for passing a motion.  A minimum of ten (10) members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any LHS PTSA general meeting.

Adoption of the annual budget, approval of the standing rules, election of the nominating committee, and election of officers shall be done at general membership meetings.

* Parental Volunteerism
* Communication and Informational Evenings
* WASL Testing Treats
* and much more!
